Commuter Cars is a Spokane, Washington based company founded by Rick Woodbury and his son Bryan. They are beginning production of the first of their line of ultra-narrow electric sports cars, the Tango T600. The first production car is owned by actor George Clooney who took delivery on August 9, 2005.
The T600 costs $108,000 and is delivered virtually fully assembled, requiring the owner to complete the car in about eight hours.
The company has submitted a Letter of Intent to compete for the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize. Whether this involves the Tango T600 or one of their concepts, the Tango T100 and T200, or some other car is unknown.
Famous quotes containing the word cars:
“When, at rare intervals, some thought visits one, as perchance he is walking on a railroad, then, indeed, the cars go by without his hearing them. But soon, by some inexorable law, our life goes by and the cars return.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
